CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION FINDING AND DETERMINING THE
NEED FOR CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, 1984 EDITION
WHEREAS, Section 17958 of the Health & Safety Code requires the adoption by
the City of South San Francisco of regulations imposing the same requirements of
certain uniform industry codes as specified in Health & Safety Code Section 17922;
and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 17958.5 permits a city to make such
changes or modifications to the uniform codes as deemed reasonable because of
local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 50022.4 provides that when a code is
adopted by reference, penalty clauses are not deemed adopted by reference but
may be enacted only if set forth in full in the adopting ordinance;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that pursuant to the
requirements of Health & Safety Code Section 17958.7 and Government Code Section
50022.4, the Council finds and determines there is a need to adopt the following
changes or modifications to the National Electrical Code, 1984 Edition, by reason
of local conditions:
1. Administrative Changes.
Section 204, Violation, is restated and Section 205, Penalties,
is added in light of Government Code Section 50022.4 to conform
with other Municipal Code provisions of the City of South San
Francisco. These changes are administrative rather than tech-
nical in nature.
2' Section 334-23. Metal-Clad Cable. Grounding.
The amendment is needed to clarify that internal groundin§ conductors
must be provided in each metal clad cable because the existing wording
simply refers to an "adequate path."
3. Section 336-3. Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable. Uses Permitted or
Not Permitted.
Due to local geological and topographical conditions, it is
appropriate to limit the use of Type NM and Type NMC cables to
certain residential structures and not permit such cables in
industrial and commercial buildings.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed to cause a
copy of this resolution, together with the ordinance making the changes or
modifications to the National Electrical Code, 1984 Edition, to be filed with
the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and
adopted by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco at a reoular
meeting held on the lOth day of December , 1986 by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers John "Jack" Drago, Richard A. Haffey, Gus Nicolopulos
